About
Houssein El Hajj is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery, oncologic safety, and postoperative recovery. His primary research areas include minimally invasive surgical techniques in breast and gynecologic oncology, with a focus on optimizing patient outcomes through robotic assistance. El Hajj’s most cited study, “Robotic-assisted skin sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction using latissimus dorsi flap” (2020, 17 citations), established a new, effective, and safe paradigm for breast cancer surgery, demonstrating that robotic techniques can enhance cosmetic results without compromising oncologic principles. His contributions to the ROBOGYN-1004 trial (2024) further advanced the field by identifying how surgical complexity and center experience influence morbidity after robot-assisted laparoscopy in gynecologic oncology—a critical insight for standardizing care. El Hajj’s work has been recognized in notable publications, including his ASO Author Reflections (2024), where he evaluates the interplay of ergonomics, surgical expertise, and patient health status on robotic outcomes. With a cumulative impact spanning breast and gynecologic oncology, El Hajj is shaping the future of minimally invasive cancer surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
